As far as internet content goes, hate is winning. All the major social media platforms have been overrun by sexist, racist, LGBTQphobic commentary. And these platforms will simply follow the money, pushing hate content via algorithms as good people leave the platforms.

“It’s not right that things can be said on TV or the floor of Congress, but not on our platforms,”
I somewhat respect that statement actually.
I mean... We do sometimes. 🤷🏻♂️
For example I have ADHD, autism and BPD.

They put Dana White who heads the UFC on the board, all because Zuckerberg did Jujitsu... Jujitsu and the UFC has stange political affiliations to chechen forces Putin sometimes employs.
They're a hyper masculine male traditionalist culture. So it all ties back into that BS.
They call it "Sportswashing" - using Jujitsu to slide extremist politics onto someone. Zuckerberg fell tor it hook line and sinker. Libertarian to pro Russia pipeline. Anti-woke fascism in practice.

Billionaires have mental illness and have negatively affected me and society as a whole more than any gay or trans person ever could.

Billionaires have a mental illness
Zuckerberg has mental illness.
Zuckerberg has a moral defect. Evil is not a medical problem.
Well, evil is a medical problem for other people, like those with profitably denied insurance claims.
Okay 🤷♂️
EDIT They can say whatever they want. But so can you. So where's the problem?
No, no, no. Some people can say as they choose, some cannot. In any case, we're all forced to listen to it and participate.
The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.
In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.

I left facebook after years of having meta not do anything about blatant transphobia and ableism that I reported to them. I got a death threat late last year and that was the final straw for me
What I want to know is who thought it was a good idea to give the kid who ate rocks at recess for attention an international platform. Hmm?
Is this a meme I don't know?
Zuck is extraordinarily intelligent. You don't get into Harvard as a non legacy eating rocks.
Nor did anyone give it to him. He took it by cheating the partners that made Facebook grow in it's early years.
You're correct in the second half though. It doesn't take brains to steal, see November 5 2024.
C'mon now. Don't do that. Be better than that.
What we have to understand, and accept is that the election was not stolen. It exists in a broken system where only a handful of states actually have votes that matter. And this time, those states willingly voted for trump. Texas was never going to vote for any democrat. California was never going to vote for any republican.
The few states that mattered, namely PA, voted trump.
It sucks, but thats what happened. You can't just call fraud because you don't like the gerrymandering and the oppressed voting. Those are issues to address in the years BEFORE the election. Start addressing them now for 2028.
It doesn't take brains to steal but you have to be a special kind of stupid to re elect Trump after his extraordinary failure of 2016-2020.
Zuck is one of humanity's cancers
What do you mean "now?" I've been seeing people say that for years.
Yup, and if you reported it as hate speech they'd review it and say it doesn't go against community guidelines.

People are free to out themselves as ignorant on Meta. Technology is getting crazy.
My mom believes the bullshit about LGBTQ being a mental illness. Can't wait for it to get worse! Thanks Facebook!
